Why CanToo?
For too many of us, cancer will be the barrier to the long healthy life we all want and plan for.
For others, poor physical or mental health will stand in our way.
Research increasingly points to social isolation and a lack of connection as a serious threat to wellbeing - and not just in older people.
Involvement in a CanToo program can help employees smash these barriers. Through participation, connection, a shared purpose, the encouragement of others, increased physical activity, and the satisfaction of making a positive difference to an important cause.
It doesn’t matter if your employees have never done anything like this before. They will have a whole ‘cheer squad’ of people to help them reach their goal and, especially, a professional CanToo Coach. We support your employees to do what they can do – for themselves, their physical and mental health, and for people with cancer.
How it works
Step 1: Form your pod
Gather a team of 20+ staff to train together in a CanToo program. You’ll select a challenge - one of our 5km, 10km, half marathon or marathon run programs – and train as a group 2x per week in a location convenient to your team. A professional Coach will be there to support and guide your employees to reach their fitness goals every step of the way.
Step 2: Train and connect
Over 12-16 weeks (depending on the distance your pod has selected), your employees build fitness, resilience, and camaraderie, challenging themselves and challenging cancer.
Step 3: Fundraise for impact
Together, your organisation and its employees raise funds towards our dual mission of health promotion and early-career cancer research. This dual mission offers your organisations a rare opportunity to deliver outcomes that meaningfully contribute to employee wellbeing, as well as support your CSR targets, making a real difference to the lives of so many Australians impacted by cancer.
CanToo will also support your organisation by providing data and case studies for your annual reporting, highlighting and celebrating your organisation’s achievements and impact.
Step 4: Celebrate at the finish line!
Your employees will run their race, cross that finish line and celebrate their achievements with your organisation and the wider CanToo community. This milestone strengthens team connection, reinforces a sense of belonging, and fosters the unique motivation that comes from uniting personal achievement with altruism.
